    1. Wave 23: That. Was. EPIC! (August 20-21)

      by , 08-21-2010 at 03:15 PM (The Meerkat's Lair)
      I did it. Thats right. DEILD. My technique. I knew it. I always knew it. When I saw DEILD I was like: Thats the one for me. And it was. It is. This was no "lucky shot" like DILD. This was INDUCED. I have skills! Hell yeah. Before going through this epic night lets start with the two non-LDs I dont care about.

      Dream 1: I am in my living room watching TV. My dad browses through the channel. The first thing we watch is America's Got Talent on CityTv. It is obvious that it is not in HD, as you see Howie Mandel in a real crappy image. We watch different groups on the show, mostly dancers. They are on the first stage with the red background, not the Hollywood one. There are also flashbacks of their course on the show, like they do in the real one. Next there's the tourism channel that my dad tells me talks about three cities: Montreal, Quebec and Vancouver. I remember seeing Cinderella (who represents Disney) in a big city at night. She is giving out pamphlets and talking about landmarks. Like a tourism booth. Later, we go to the parking lot (which brings me to think we were in a hotel room and not our living room). I make fun of a bunch of kids there. We get in the very small elevator, and suddenly everyone rushes in. The elevator makes a weird sounds, and I wonder if we got over the limit of people it can take. Since its my mind, of course we did. We crash down in the shaft.

      Dream 2: After a failed attempt at DEILD, I fall asleep into another dream. This time, I am going to a shop. It is not very clear what it sells, were just there. She waits for me outside while I go buy whatever I need. I walk around the aisles (which look very much like a library) upstairs while constantly looking at my cellphone which is on a bench near. I go back to where my mom waits. My friend Émilie explains to me why Vampires Suck sucks while we are in a red boat that is parking in yet another parking lot. She says there is a scene where they are just on a boat and it cost a very low 500$. I agree. Then for some reason I go back to the store, except this time im handicapped. My right leg is covered in a big plaster. I go through the same entrance but this time I need the ramp to go upstairs. A woman that probably works there tells me to go on a small square on the ground. I do, and it lifts up very high. She tells me to close my eyes and I obey. I almost fall down since the square is so small. Before I know it im back in the library. In a completely different scenario, I see something (a video?) about how some of the Dragons from Dragon's Den (the rich ppl) succombed to temptation, which I believe is sex, since next is four naked women in a pool. I end up in that pool quickly enough and swim underwater. I notice my plaster has dissapeared.

      Ok, now the good part

      THE DEILD: After the dream that just ended, I dont move. Obviously, otherwise I wouldnt have managed to transition. Then I try something new: I rub the bottom of the pool I just got out of. You know, the bottom of the pool always had a weird feeling when you touch it. So I keep rubbing it until it feels real. Very real. And then BAM!
      My first encounter with SP. It was incredible. Pow! HUGE vibrations. It felt like when your in an old rollercoaster or on a bumpy road. I have mild Tinnitus, but I got REALLY LOUD! On a very higher tone then normal. Then I see something: like an evil eye. You know, evil. Bloody veins, cat-like pupil, yellow. It was a rough ride, especially for a first SP. All this lasted for a few moments until Peeeewww. Black. Immediatly I know im in a dream and roll. I didnt want to roll in the first place, but something told me to. I feel like im falling in my bed and my first thought is: Okay, I did it. Now I gotta fly. Cus you see, thats my goal til school. But I am once again hit by exit blindness and eventually wake up. Damn it. But YEAH! Awsum!

      Countdown: 9 nights
      Goal: Fly

    2. Lucid Dream #4

      by , 08-21-2010 at 03:05 PM (Warbenifit156's Lucid Dreaming Adventures)
      Lucidity: 5/10
      Vividness: 6/10
      Length: ~2 Min.

      So I woke up after a weird dream, got up, took a piss. And fell back asleep again. But only this time I was setting my intentions on having a lucid dream. I concentrated and concentrated. Then I slipped away into a lucid dream. I think this was probably a WILD, or was it something else?

      Anyways, I faded onto a highway that was tilted. There were a group of people in front of me. I was getting naked (this lucid dream I was a girl part way through). So I was nude and lying on the cement, I could feel the cement below me. Then some guy asked me what I wanted, I can't remember what I said but he started walking towards me. I was like "no, not you." I wanted to have Lesbian sex, but then I kinda gave up on that thought and tried to change the scenery. I closed my eyes and imagined me lying on a bed on the highway, when I opened my eyes. The highway was tilted even more. So I tried it again. And it worked, I couldn't feel the bed but a truck started coming toward us so we started running toward it, then I tried to shoot spiderwebs from my hands. But it didn't work. So I said to my self "oh god please help us." Then it kinda went into slow motion and I was swinging. And so was the other guy. When we shot the webs our hands started to bleed. A lot. So we lost the truck and landed on the other side of the highway, then cars started to come. We were dodging cars and we got up onto the edge. I saw cars coming out of a road? Then I woke up.

    3. Relatives, relatively dreaming

      by , 08-21-2010 at 11:25 AM
      After waking up from a short sleep time, I dreamt of my cousin who is in Florida. She had recently succumbed to a stroke which left her right side somewhat affected. In my dream she was just coming home from the physical therapy in the hospital. I saw that her right side, in my dream, was affected with slurred speech as I expected she would be. We hugged each other as in consolation for her situation and mine as I have been stricken with Multiple Sclerosis. I felt as though there was a reaching out between us through time and space or it could be a notice of things to come in the near future.
      As a side note, I have an affinity for Nostradamus

    4. A night at Merlot's

      by , 08-21-2010 at 10:01 AM
      non-dream non-lucid

      21-08-10 I was in Merlot's (yes the bar from true blood, ) with my friend, colleague and soon to be neighbour (first time I dreamt of him, couldn't do anything about that ). He was getting a lot of attention from all attractive women in the bar (I hate him!!!) except one, a red haired girl that seemed to go blonde over the course of the dream. She on the other hand kept smiling at me and I smiled back, but didn't do anything else. She told Daniel she had to go back to Max, her presumed boyfriend. At one point I get a message from an unknown number and I know it is her, it is an animated film about a small blue man that lives in the wall like a mouse. The text after the film says “This is Max ”.

      After almost being sucked into another dream about a small dog that lives in the same wall as Max, I get called back to the first by a scene where someone is stealing the tip money (very similar to the last episode I watched). Two friends of mine (random DCs) and I run through town to find Claire (An English friend of mine) and it is quite obvious that she has taken the money. We run through the city which has a cross between Barcelona and Copenhagen feel to it. We find Claire at a café with a stack of money on the table and a couple of notes she has quickly dropped in a half full pint. I pick up the notes and put them in the stack. One DC want to take some of the money and claims it to be finders keepers, another want to set up a recurrent business. I tell them it is all going back and the DC with the business plans asks me “Who put you in charge of our ethical considerations?” “I did!” I reply and start heading back to the bar.

      When we get back Claire is at the bar serving a pint, she seems anxious and I know this is because of our return. Sam gets up and I give him the money. He calls me and another DC into his office, and this DC transforms into the aforementioned woman. We have a bit of a mouthing and the woman is acting like bitch. To wipe her smile of her face I go to slap her, although I have no intentions of carrying through Sam grabs my hand behind my head. “I had no intentions of doing it you know?” He explains how she has been through a lot with his brother and how she has now had to move out, so even if I had slapped her it wouldn't have been the worst that could happen to her (!?!?!?).

      The woman starts to make serious moves on Sam and he can't resist it. I close my eyes as I don't want to see. Devious tramp I think to myself, before my idea about her turns into “Succubus!”. I keep standing there as they are blocking the entire office until the woman makes small room and says “scoot”. I grab the door and the wall and swing my lower body over Sam's legs in order to get out. The last thing I say is “Oh btw, she stays!”. “Who her?” Sam replies “Claire, you idiot!!” I reply, “She stays or I go” (somehow I now have a working affiliation with Merlot's). I feel like Claire deserves a second chance. I go out of the office and over to the bar and over to Claire. She is blushing as I approach and I can feel how uncomfortable she is becoming, I kiss her on the cheek grab my dream journal and start walking towards an empty part of the bar. Claire calls “thanks” in a questioning tone of voice and as I can hear she doesn't want to let it go right away, I turn around and send her a smile. She smiles back and resume her work.

      As I am walking towards that empty place in the bar to write my dream journal, a woman calls me and smiles at me. She is quite large and she tells me she wouldn't mind kisses either. I send her a smile and carry on with my route. I wake up.

    5. I love delayed dream recall.

      by , 08-20-2010 at 08:48 PM (The Mind is Power; My Dream Journal)
      So I woke up this morning and couldn't remember any of my dreams. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wake up a little bit and then suddenly I remember two VERY long dreams (for me) in vivid detail. And they were very different from eachother. How awesome is that? So it isn't an LD but it's still something. My dreams are picking up which has to be a good sign.

      This was an epic dream. I come into the dream as a guy who lakes vaguely like my buddies dad (Jake k) invites me to come to his sons wedding. In real life I would never go because the son in question is an asshole and has Been horrible to me. But I follow the guy anyways.

      He leaps onto an electric scooter and I guess I do too be because we take off on the pavement towards a turnpike once there I see a small replica scooter in the sand. I wonder to myself if I should grab it.

      I don't because I decide he'd tell me if I should or not. We continue on and suddenly we are no longer on the scooter. In fact we are running. To the wedding. But first we slide to a stop under another sandy overpass and i see a bunch of bottles in the sand. The man next to me glances at a piece of paper and says I have to collect them. I glance at them and see that they are cologne vial looking containers of a coffee mixture. I realize to myself that these must be wedding favors and I am instantly disappointed because I was hoping my party favor would be a job offer. I try not to let it show and I continue to follow the man until we arrive at a beach where there is this gigantic boat in the water. It has a giant anchor to it's side and it appears that the captain of the ship, who is the brother I realize, is fishing for dolphins by shooting the anchor forward and slowly pulling it backwards.

      And wouldn't you know it. Suddenly I am in the water and caught on the anchor. I struggle to climb up the giant mechanism until i come level with the boat from the anchor side. I am still underwater somehow and breathing through a giant blow off tube. I make my way nervously over to his boat and leap on board unsure as to how I'd be received. I glance into the water and see fins caught in the anchor.

      And then we are walking down the sandy beach and my wife is there. So is my buddy Phil i realize. I start to tell Leah we need a vacation near a beach but she doesn't quite understand what I mean somehow and I storm off.
      For some reason I'm in a co Ed shower and there is this totally hot black woman there. I'm minding my own business when suddenly she pulls me close and I think we have sex.

      Next thing i know I'm at where I assume is my house. I walk up the stairs and go into my room and get on my computer. Shortly thereafter my irl wife shows up and we start fooling around a little bit. I try to go to this website that has adult material but I have problems accessing it because it has a specific and very inappropriate password on all the boards.

      So I don't know why but I'm suddenly outside of an old looking wal mart. I drive up to the glass doors and park my car there. I give a wary look behind me at a crew of messed up looking beggars and then go inside.

      All I remember from being inside is seeing the same woman from the shower. She is with who i assume is her friend and also her boyfriend. She sees me and asks if I remember her because she is pregnant. I freak out and say no and leave.

      Outside of the store again I have to get around the beggars. Their faces seem to be peeling off and they seem to want my car. I run to my car and throw it open and hop inside. I glance in the back to make sure nobody is hiding and realize I'm in the wrong vehicle. I roll outta the car and sprint to whee my car really is. I repeat the process and that's all I remember from that dream.
      Finally I get to avoid checking the "fragment" box

    6. Dreams from the last few days, both Lucid and Non-Lucid.

      by , 08-20-2010 at 02:30 PM (Sean's Dream Journal)
      Lucid:

      I was in a dream where me and a DC were trapped in a small shabby looking room as we had been kidnapped.
      I remember the DC i was with as a male, with Curly hair. we were in the room when i suddenly shouted, "wait im dreaming!" to which my dream cahracter didn't take much notice of. Then all of a sudden our kidnapper burst into the room, he was a big fat bald man, he had an angry look on his face and he threw me around the room(as small as it was) but i seemed to be bouncing off the walls. i then saw a small window beside me and thought of it as an escape way. Dream ends.

      I was lying in my bed and suddenly went into SP, i opened what i believe to be my dream eyes for a split second and saw about 10 Round yellow balls on my 'bedroom' floor.

      i was lying in my bed this morning when i suddenly went into SP, i got a bit freaked as i knew i didn't want to go in to SP. i reamined calm and opened my eyes. I was still Paralysed but i was in the dream world looking at my bed but could not move. i then fought my way out of it. Dream End

      Non-Lucid:
      The other night i had a dream that me and some DC's were playing a rayman game in a big outdoor playground type place. i then said "what are those things called again"? (talking about lums to which u DC replied "lums". i thought this was weird as how did one of my DC's know something that i dont. which beg's the question 'Do DC's contain forgotten memories? or do DC's represent different memories?. Dream end

      Me and some DC's were sitting in a forset with ( i thnk) playing airsoft. i picked up a mask a mask similar to pshyco mantis from MGS.
    7. A False Awakening Chain of Screams

      The False Awakening Chain (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I was at Hurricane Harbor. I know my mom was there, but I am not sure if my sister was there. The whole layout of the park was different. For some reason, I was wearing a life jacket. I didn't even know why I was wearing it. I decided that since I was there, I would go on one slide. There was surprisingly no line to the slide. I walked up, and the life guard told me when to go. Right when I started going down, the life guard told me to take off my life jacket.

      I went down the slide, and unbuckled the life jacket. I couldn't take it off, since I was sliding down the slide. I started to go really slow when I approached the end, but I was okay. A life guard was at the bottom and he laughed and told me he assumed she told me to take off the life jacket too late. I smiled, and took off the life jacket. The water was about 7 feet deep, but for some reason, I had trouble swimming. Plus, I had water in my eyes, so I could not see. I managed to swim to the end, and I didn't want to be there anymore. I walked up the where all of the chairs were located.

      I couldn't find my mom, but I found her chair. On her chair was a huge book, called Inked. The title design was really cool. I walked away, but I decided to turn back to the chair. My mom was sitting on it, so I asked her if we could go. She said fine. We appeared in a New Orleans styled city, and there was a celebration. I went inside a house and was then on my mac. I don't have a mac, and the place was not my house. I was on the computer, but now I was in third person. I was looking at me, but I was bald. Actually, no. I was looking through the eyes of the person behind me. I started talking, and I refused to turn around. When I did, I screamed and woke up.

      I didn't actually wake up. It was a false awakening. I was in the same building, as if I woke up from sleeping on the chair. I was about to go on the mac, but within ten seconds, a scary image popped up on the computer and screamed. I woke up, to another false awakening. This happened about ten times. Finally, on the last scream, I woke up.

      Sadly, it was a false awakening. I must've been sleeping on the floor in my normal clothes. My cousin Nicole was over, and she told me that every time you hear a scream in a dream, you scream in real life. I quickly went into my parents room to make sure they were still sleeping. My parents were both asleep in their bed (
      Last time in a dream, I screamed and they didn't get up. I should've noticed this.). Nicole and I went on my Mac that was now on my bed. I shown her a video of my dog, but she thought it was a screamer. Then, I looked at files on my computer and there were videos of my dreams. I shown her my False Awakening Screamfest. I actually woke up.
    8. Non-Lucid Powers - HEROES Style!

      by , 08-20-2010 at 12:35 PM (Beyond the Horizon)
      I broke my right wrist two weeks ago, so I can't write my dreams down, and I had just started to.
      It's also annoying to type, thus no DJs
      To fill in the time, I've been watching HEROES online!!
      I first remember being inside the toilet block at my school, but it was more of a living room inside. I remember teleporting Hiro Nakamura style to the next room, and seeing Matt Parkman and Kaito Nakamura there.

      Next thing I remember I'm out the front of my school library where there are tables to sit at. Mine had a tablecloth over it :S
      My dad was sitting with me, as well as someone else, probably a friend. I started pouring my dad some sparkling grape juice, and was purposely getting it on the tablecloth, which was starting to turn purple all over.

      My dad said "Quick, go under the table and pause for 5 seconds." I did this, hoping the other people there wouldn't see (I can't let them find out about my ability) and I saw the grapejuice frozen in mid air, like globules, IT WAS SO COOL!
      I could hear my dad counting to 5, even though time was paused, and then the globules splashed onto the ground.

      Next thing I remember, I'm in a bus/coach with Nathan Petrelli, and it was raining.
      Suddenly, an evil person somewhere outside the coach paused time, but I was aware it was happening, so Nathan told me to pause against it. When I did, I could move, but time was going really slow, instead of being still.

      I looked out and observed the raindrops falling and splashing onto the puddles, every single raindrop make a tiny slow-motion splash, it was beautiful.

      Then we were at this house, Nathan and I, and the people wouldn't let me in unless I showed them my power. I paused time and walked behind them, they let me in

      I came to this machine which could let me swap my power for another character's power. I vaguely remember choosing "Elle" who can shoot lightning, but I don't remember what I did with it.

      Then I chose "Claire" who can heal herself. I felt like I was getting more energy from being healed. Nathan, meanwhile, flew off somewhere.

      I think I followed him to somewhere, but I can't remember anything from healing myself to waking up.

      I have discovered my new goal!
    9. Professional sport and an extra son

      by , 08-20-2010 at 08:34 AM (scumpy's journey to lucidity...)
      20 Aug

      Recall was good last night, 4 or 5 ? dreams fairly good length and vivid

      1)I was playing inside centre for the springboks, I was really amped and planned to really hurt the other team. I wasn't scared at all which is weird since they would all easily crush me. One of the players from NZ got up and gave a message before the game, I think I did too...

      2)I stooped outside M's house and talked with hid brother T, He asked me if the bug zapper belonged to me (it was quite emotional - M is a friend of mine that died 2 months ago). C and my self were on the way home but we were walking and we were indoors, in a school or hospital with lots of corridors. I kept on turning on lights as we walked (they took time to switch on but I thought it was because they were old) We arrived at our place which was a room in a corridor, just before it was a kitchen area with plastic cups from C's holiday club and hundreds of empty green T-bags, C said it was from her doing fear factor with the kids???

      3)We had another son L's age but I had memory of having neglected him because he was funny looking (he really was) He had orange hair and a really funny chin. I felt bad and was trying to make him feel loved and accepted by giving him lots of attention. He was complaining about having a sore bum and was wearing diapers???? I got some bum cream from C's bag and took him to a bathroom in a kitchen and put the bum cream on his bum (this is only funny if you're not a parent) It didn't seem to be the right stuff but he said he felt better. Then we travelled to my childhood home in Kimberley. C had forgot the house keys in the office but when we got there the lock had been forced by a wrong key that was stuck in the lock. We say that someone else's stuff was in the house like ornaments and stuff and found like a drunk homeless lady in W old room. I got the rage thing again and then we found the daughter and her boy friend in A's old room. In the dining room there were like 20 of them, I was so angry and threaten to hurt them and told them to go, I threatened to have E beat them up and he came out of the lounge to back me up....

      4)I was lying on a sleeper couch watching cricket on tv, suddenly I'm in the game and I'm playing for South Africa. At some point I'm on the couch again and my game has been ruined by my parents messing with the channels

      5)On top of signal hill in Bloemfontein riding a bike, following a really hot lady in a silver sports car, we're together. I get stopped by guards outside the observatory. One take my license and won't give it back as a joke, I get irritated and explain to the other guard that I need to go meet this lady. He gets the license back for me. I drive around Bloem looking for this lady. At some point I drive past a apartment block with people naked and possibly having sex on some of the balconies. I seriously consider going back to go watch them but decide against it. I pop some wheelies to show off and kind of fall. I stop on the curb and CA and her mom come out of their house and so good bye to guests, CH comes up to me and asks if she can ask me a question she asks a really important question but I can't remember the answer...
    10. Invisible assassin and police/EMT's

      by , 08-20-2010 at 08:07 AM (scumpy's journey to lucidity...)
      19 Aug

      2 dreams recalled

      1) I was some sort of protector in ancient times (assassins creed universe, schemas FTW). Someone was coming to assassinate an important person P but she wasn't my daughter in the dream. We were feeling pretty smug because we were well fortified. When the assassin came he was invisible but also not solid like a wind. I knew that he was there but the DC that was me didn't (weird, not sure if this was 3rd person). I eventually caught on but pretended not to know when the assassin was close to me I pushed the wind into the wall and it materialized into red marbles that fell to the floor, they quickly started coming together and returning ti their "ethereal" form but we collected them and I put them in a jar that P was holding. Se was a bit careless and almost let the marbles fal to the ground and I had to tell her to be careful.

      2) I'm a police/EMT in hilbrow (most dangerous neighborhood in South Africa which is saying a lot) I'm knew on my job and my partner is a lady, we drive out on a call and I ask her how many call outs we get in a 8 hour shift, she say 6. We travel to the scene but on the way there is a beach and ocean next to us (false logic) I question her about Johannesburg having an ocean and we decide that we are in a tunnel with a projected ocean put there secretly by the government to keep people happy We arrive at our destination and M is bleeding from a stab wound to the shoulder 2 EMT's are already working on him we go and assist. I put my knife on his lap? and use my shirt to help stop the bleeding. We go into his garden to get water and the dream plot changes. I recognize this house because it is in a neighborhood where all the houses are the same. I have false memories of all the people that live in the neighborhood that I know. We go to another house and I have memories or did dream at some point that I was doing webcam chats with the people who lived here, 1 of them was Cacophony? from DV. The chats were sort of voyeuristic in nature they had set up cameras for other people to watch them live there (I had been watching the DV dream tube videos earlier in the day and there's one there by Cacophony). At the house one of us went into a basement thing that had a large machine and tried to operate it but got like sucked in in a conveyer belt or something. We then contacted the owners of the house (Cacophony) who then looked at heir own webcams to tell us how to get the guy out of the machinery, the guy happened to be Walter from Fringe...

    11. Old haunted Saloon and battling evil creatures.

      by , 08-20-2010 at 04:52 AM (Visions of the night)
      8/19/10

      Last night I had this dream and wish that I had at least written it down before taking so long to post it.

      I found myself in this old time Saloon not a one story either. It was very old fashion and I was wandering around in it.. I kept hearing noises ahead and behind me but nothing was there. I was pretty scared because the doors ahead of me would open but no one would be around. Things were falling on the floor hard so I knew immediately the place was haunted.
      What stood out the most was this tall man in a suit and top hat.. I couldn't make out his face but he did have a beard he held his head a bit down to not show off his face but I was able to see his beard.. reminded me of Abe Lincoln in a way. This guy had some sort of powers because he would curl his fingers in a weird manner in mid air and things would start banging around inside of the saloon.
      I no longer wanted to be in there and tried finding my way out and this guy was right there behind me just standing and smirking underneath his top hat..
      I didn't want to see his eyes for some reason.. I was already scared of the activity going on in the saloon..
      I went up some stairs and saw what I thought was an elevator but I guess it was some sort of thing that allowed slaves to move around the saloon without being noticed by using this special carriers that were embedded in the walls..
      The floor to this so called elevator was marble off white and the walls were made of dark oak. I wasn't sure if I should get it in or not but I heard this noise behind me and when I turned that jerk of a top hat man yelled loud in my face with his hat off.. all I noticed was a very pale ghostly face and no eyes in his eye socket..
      I found myself moving over a cliff and immediately the scene changed..
      I was with a group of people and we all had this heavy iron swords.. I felt like a warrior and felt strength standing amongst this crowd. We all had on the same garments and of us were protective of one another watching our backs..
      So we enter this huge dark room.. looked like a gymnasium and there was no light on but in the dark I was able to see multiple eyes in different areas peering at us.. I clutch my sword tightly feeling anger grow in me.
      These eyes are just peering.. the way a cat's eye reflects in the darkness but there were different shapes and sizes..
      All of a sudden we are sitting in the middle of this gymnasium.. females on one side facing males like some sort of gathering.. immediately us women stand up and being to sing in unison but no words.. just making these wonderful sounds with out voices..
      The men looked at us with such amazement.. and we sat down smiling. A woman with no leg who was sitting next to me told me that we were more dominant over the males and were very powerful hunters..

      That was all I could recall..
    12. Dreams and Fragments from August 18 2010

      by , 08-20-2010 at 04:50 AM (Sailing the Noosphere)
      1. I arrive at my college for a new year, but as I'm unsure where to go I end up meandering through random hallways. In one of them I find my friend Mary T, who directs me up to her room. She's very happy to see me, and we hang out by playing a music theory game using a piano controller against another friend via Skype. Soon we start to cuddle, but as we do we're rudely intruded by an orientation activity. The RAs are leading a "Parade of Geeks," dressed in suspenders and huge glasses. They take my friend CW from the room after asking "Is anyone weird?" and Mary and I join him in support. I get lost on the way and stumble into a succession of other rooms on the floor. One contains freshmen girls from my old high school, another is an office space, and another is an apartment housing my roommate from the research station and his father.

      2. CA and I are the only survivors of a pandemic that is changing all of my college into gibbering lunatics. I commend her as she singlehandedly diagnoses the disease and develops a cure.

      3. I'm present in the final level of a Paper Mario game that takes place in the bar level from Guitar Hero. I am playing bass in the background, but when the final boss shows up I start to interact in the Paper Mario world. My dialogue is extremely cocky as I fight rather poorly, but as people criticize me I say I'm roleplaying. Another band leaves in fear and I insult them, leading to one of their members and I exchanging insults. He ends up kicking me in the face, which loosens the glasses I'm wearing.

      4. I am watching a dinner show at the Dollywood theme park. Each guest is given a light gun to interact with the show as it goes on. As the show starts, the main character boasts how presidents (Bush father and son) and other dignitaries love it. The seats then move backwards to proper viewing distance for a massive screen, where a trippy music video appears. In the video, a redneck pharmacist has placed the world in a stupor by distributing colorful pills in colored Solo cups. The audience seems to enter the music video, and there's a crowd marching single-file through a large mansion.

      At this point, I remember the main character declaring that the whole thing is a dream, and I feel a mild awareness for the rest of the scene. However, I don't feel any control and the faintest of physical sensations, so I'm not counting it as a true lucid. For some reason, I know my name is Vincent in the dream, and my body has split into several selves. One looks like the waking me, but several are burly black men and one is a golden robot. I feel pulled away from the march through the mansion, and my other selves go exploring with me. The robot leads the way to a golden cabinet, where I see a camera and a cell phone. Out of the corner of my eye I develop an X-ray vision and see the two objects go down a shelf in the cabinet. I know that to go further into the mansion, I have to move the objects myself, as the vision was an illusion.

      Comment Dream Lucid Dream

      Had a MILD-1 class again last night. When I woke up after only 3 hours of sleep I couldn't remember much from my dreams except for:

      I'm in a huge imaginary city, together with a Highschool mate of mine. We're going to a festival, but I've got a broken bike and he's got sore feet from his rollerskates. Going strong >_<.

      ------

      This dream is from when I awoke this morning. Apparently I continued my previous dream.

      The festival is over. My mate's gone and so is my bike. On my way home I encounter an old lady that can't seem to find her own home anymore. She tells me she lives in a street called the Bokken (which would translate to Bucks in english, the animals). I tell her I know where that is and lead here home. It felt like quite a time before we got there, but dreams can be deceivable like that. In the end we arrived at the Bokken though, a street on the bank of a gracht. I remember the entire scene had a yellowy sepia filter over it. On the bank were four copper alligator statues, but I didn't pay them much attention.
      Fast forward and I'm a secret agent together with two of my housemates. We're still in the vicinity of the Bokken, but at a small public square. No one's there except us. I spot a laptop and a small beamer on a bench and walk towards them. As soon as I touch them I know this is a laptop from a female spy of our 'enemy corporation' and I decide to hack it. We're after an (unknown) item and this laptop could very well tell us where it is. It runs on windows 98 and takes a couple of minutes before I extract the information: that we need to infiltrate the house of this spy and retrieve our item there.
      Fortunately, his house is very close and no one's home. We enter, go upstairs to her room and search for the item. One of my colleagues finds it and he leaves together with my other colleague as backup. I'm to remove our traces and follow them later on. Whilst doing that I hear she-spy coming home and going upstairs. The room has two doors and I hide against the wall of one of the doors. She-spy enters through the other door and I try to make my escape. She's too fast though and knocks me down on the head. Game over.

      Fortunately I can try again (wtf?!). I find myself hiding against the wall again, but this time she enters through this door. I rapidly bash the door against her head and make my escape. Outside I find myself in a
      semi-lucid dream where I jump over hedges. I know I can decide what hedge to jump over. Sometimes the dream 'doesn't listen', but I do have the sense of control. Quickly lost that, though.
      I reunite with my colleagues at the four alligator statues in the Bokken. Apparently we're to use the item in combination with one of the statues but agent H tells me it isn't working. I quickly check an online FAQ and it says we forgot to rub the statue with a special type of oil. We don't have that though and neither do we have the time, because the enemies have found us. It's time to prepare for the final battle. Slowly the scene around me changes into a psychedelic disco painting. Afterwards it doesn't make sense at all, but in my dream it was perfectly logical. People killing each other of to get that item, the environment turning and twisting around us. In the end, I passed away too and woke up.

    14. Hawaii mixed with New York

      by , 08-19-2010 at 07:52 AM
      My mom, Uncle Nick, and I had dinner at a restaurant. As I was expecting, my Uncle Nick ordered a pretty expensive drink. Next thing I know, I'm in a big city in Molokai (which is strange because in real life, Molokai is only made up a few towns and not many people.) There were bridges, skyscrapers, the whole deal. The next scene I remember, I'm back in the house I previously lived in, in New York. My mom and I put our cat Chanel on top of these strange large sheets of paper, each dedicated to a specific Hawaiian Island. She walked around on them, and it seemed to make it feel like she was actually walking on the island itself. I didn't want her walking all over Lanai so I took her off of it. I got out of the house and walked across the street, and I noticed a semi-secretive watch-house, which has cameras pointing directly at my house. I did not feel comfortable entering, so I moved on to the next house, which happened to be Carol's house... I walked in and I saw tons of my friends from here (Hawaii) inside. I was curious as to why so many were in there, turns out, some billionaire was in the house. I saw him, but I didn't go crazy over it. Then all of a sudden, someone asked where Carol's mailbox is, so I mentioned that it was to the right of the driveway. Then all of a sudden, some kid starts nagging on me about how I made these YouTube videos in 3rd grade about geography lessons and they were boring. Later, I log on my computer and I see that there actually are geography videos I made on YouTube, and also another video with some of my friends saying "Hi!" Then I realized that I left my Sidekick cell phone in Carol's house 3 years ago, so I ran back in and I checked under one of the chair cushions.. sure enough, there it was! The internet loaded up right away, and I was worried that my parents would be charged for the bill. Next door to Carol's house was an Ice Cream Shop. I went with one of my friends, and immediately walked out after seeing how unpleasing the ice cream looked. Later on, I was in an arcade (I don't remember how or why I came here) and I decided to play DDR. I start playing, and some song is already preselected, and it's DIFFICULT. I did terrible and failed on the last few arrows pretty much, and some kids were making some side-comments. So, I started the game again, and I played Fantasy by Melissa (on heavy) but I forgot to speed up the arrows. Now it was very difficult, because the arrows just came in cluttered groups, but for some reason.. I hit all of the arrows. My feet were moving rapidly on all of the arrows, and I was doing great. But for some reason, I was hitting most of them early, and it was counting them.
    15. Execution in the desert

      by , 08-19-2010 at 12:40 AM
      This was the most vivid / frightening dream I have had in quite a while.

      First thought of the dream was me standing in the desert in the 3rd person. Me and 2 others were standing infront of our semi trucks in the middle of a vast desert. I was on the left. As being viewed from above to the left and behind the semi's. There were a group of men dressed as the taliban (one piece clothes and face masks.) Apparently I was able to undersand them however I dont recall them actually talking. We were to be executed. Once again I had the feeling that I was a truck driver in a convoy in either Iraq or Afginaistan. As I waited to be executed I 100% believed I was about to die. In my dream I was in complete fear that I was going to be shot. I started thinking and hoping it wouldnt hurt, saying to myself over and over "please dont hurt, please dont hurt" and was having a hard time remembering my wife, friends and family to tell them I loved them before I died. I wanted to say good by to them, however I was so scared I was having trouble remembering them.

      I was then in the 1st person. and then remember ducking behind my open driver side door. In the dream I knew the gun fire had started but I dont remember hearing any sounds. It seems as if a couple seconds had passed and I felt as though I knew the other 2 drivers were dead, and I was about to peek my head out from around the truck, when my alarm went off.

      I have the "sleep cycle" app on my iphone which supposedly wakes you up at a optimal sleep time. This is what happened and was woken up 20 minutes prior to what time I normally would. I was so realeaved to just be dreaming that I jumped out of bed and began my day. Not realizing till 1/2 through my shower that I was awake 20 minutes early.

      This dream was almost a week ago but has really stuck with me. I think because it was the most scared I have been in a dream in quite a long time. I was 100% convinced I was about to die. However I wouldn't classify it as a nightmare.
